Preparation:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cook pasta in salted boiling
water until tender. Add chopped onion for last two minutes
of cooking to soften slightly. Drain.
Meanwhile, combine cottage cheese, sour cream, chiles, and
salsa in a large bowl until well blended. Add cooked pasta
and stir. Break tuna into bowl and stir again.
Turn mixture into a greased 2-quart casserole dish. Combine
crackers and cashews and sprinkle over top. Bake uncovered
for 20 - 30 minutes, or until hot and bubbling. |
